Yang Shidao regretted following Yang Ji back. For him, Ganzhou was really not a place for people to stay.
When he was the magistrate and county magistrate of Zhenyuan County, he was the top military and political leader. Since Zhenyuan County has a small population, there are not many people's livelihood problems. Not to mention the help of assistant officials, even if not, Yang Shidao can handle it alone.
But Ganzhou is different. After just one day of rest, Yang Ji captured the young man. Not to mention that Liangzhou is now very busy and not the same as in the past. The number of caravans traveling from south to north alone is even greater than that of Zhenyuan County. The total population of Liangzhou has increased, not to mention the livelihood of the people caused by the millions of immigrants in Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou's stalls are spread, and the things to be dealt with are not only Liangzhou, but also Tuyuhun, Gaochang, various countries in the Western Regions, East and West Turks, and the Great Lakes Region All foreign intelligence and military information are also collected here.
He and the subordinate officials of the General Manager's Office were busy every day, and Yu Shinan rarely saw him take a moment of leisure. He was so exhausted that he turned into a dark and thin old man. In addition, Yin Shishi, Yang Shanhui, Wei Yunqi and others also passed by. Living a life like a coolie, what's even more tragic is that Liu Quan, the governor of Ganzhou, was requisitioned by the general manager's office at some point.
Looking at Liu Quan who was working hard and enjoying himself, Yang Shidao felt that he was more qualified than himself, and he still didn't give him a salary. After all, in addition to having two full-time jobs, he was also temporarily appointed by Yang Ji as Cong Jiupin Bi Ma Wen to manage hundreds of thousands of horses at the Jiedan Racecourse, which was considered his job.
On the other hand, Yang Ji, the general manager, was extremely idle every day and would only take his concubines and maidservants to plant paddy fields in Zhancheng Wen.
"The general manager should recruit some subordinates. Why should I, Bi Mawen, be involved in the affairs of soldiers and workers? This is unreasonable!" Yang Shidao glanced at Yu Shinan and complained to Yang Shanhui in a low voice: "Isn't the general manager talking about each department? Are their duties irrelevant? Who are we workers?"
"Right now, we have fewer people and more things to do. There is nothing we can do about it." Yang Shanhui rolled his eyes: "The general manager also said that it can only be implemented when there is sufficient manpower. Now there are enough grassroots officials, but there are too many middle- and upper-level talents. Young Master, you have to let us suffer for a while. If you have the ability, trick your brother Yang Gongren into coming here. That guy can do everything in Liucao by himself. If he comes, we can just drink tea together. ”
"He is already Zongzheng Shaoqing, how can he be demoted?" Yang Shidao smiled and shook his head: "I am talking about the scholars studying at Liangzhou University."
"Then you should suggest it to the general manager!" Yang Shanhui smiled slightly. Since the news of the establishment of three schools in Liangzhou and the movable type printing technology came to Liangzhou, the children of aristocratic families who were prefecture-level officials and county-level officials have resigned one after another. They all gave up their responsibilities. Judging from the various experimental policies currently being implemented by Yang Ji, these aristocratic families probably wished that Yang Ji would be unlucky. Even if they wanted to come, everyone in the general manager's office must be careful. As for the Hanshi, it doesn't matter, but If appointed privately, it does not meet the requirements of the official system.
"Our chief officer, Gao Jiong, is worth a hundred. When he comes back, he will be able to share our pressure. Speaking of which, Gao Jiong is indeed overqualified as the head of the palace, and he is willing to accept it. If it were me..." Yang Shidao said excitedly, but he didn't notice that Yang Shanhui's face turned strange.
"If it were you, what would you do? Are you going to resign, or refuse to be appointed?" Yang Ji's voice suddenly appeared, startling Yang Shidao, and when he looked back, he saw Yang Ji walking in with a heavy face. .
Yang Shidao straightened his back and said with a concerned look on his face: "I will work harder to repay the general manager for his support." "
"As long as you understand!" Yang Ji threatened coldly: "If you dare to confuse the public with your monstrous words and gibberish in the future, don't blame me for reporting it to Zongzheng Temple."
"Here." Yang Shidao didn't dare to let out a fart, and he didn't even dare to complain in his heart. If the person in charge of royal family law were to clean up the Zongzheng Temple these days, the result would be worse than the severe punishment according to the law, and there would be no way to redress the grievances.
"..." Yang Shanhui looked sympathetically at Yang Shidao.
"Bo Shi, Workshop City has improved a new type of water wheel that can improve the efficiency of farmland irrigation, but it is expensive. It has also developed a high-temperature smelting blast furnace and a high-temperature-resistant crucible based on the technology of the Western Regions."
Yang Ji mainly wandered around the workshop city, experimental fields, and slave army camps these days. As for the three studies and other matters, he almost ignored them.
When Yu Shinan heard this, he slapped his forehead in pain: "You want money again?"
"Yes." Yang Ji nodded: "The Tiangong Department doesn't dare to come, so I have to do it."
Workshop City is divided into categories. In addition to the Tiangong Department, there is also the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which specializes in studying crop yields. However, these things take time to test, and the funds required are not much. At present, the Tiangong Department and the Direct Road Department are the real money swallowers. Behemoth, the money to cast it is not enough.
"How much do you want this time?" Yu Shinan looked at Yang Ji warily.
"It probably takes..." Yang Ji thought for a moment and said, "One hundred thousand guan."
"One hundred thousand guan?" Yu Shinan almost shouted. Not to mention Yu Shinan, even Yang Shidao, Yang Shanhui and others were secretly stunned when they heard this number. One hundred thousand guan can equip a well-equipped army of ten thousand people. No wonder Tian People from the Work Office didn't dare to come, but they really dared to speak.
"General Manager, just basic expenses such as military pay and official salaries are a bit beyond our means. In addition, we have to buy sleeping bags, white folding cloths, marching blankets and other supplies. This is also a big expense!" Yu Shinan said sadly: "Now Spend money like running water, even if you make money every day, it’s not enough for you to spend it.”
"High investment leads to high returns, and our investment this time will definitely make a profit." Yang Ji smiled and said to Yu Shinan: "Bo Shi doesn't have to worry about money at all. He only needs to smelt blast furnaces and make high-temperature crucibles." When we come out, we can continuously produce high-quality patterned steel, iron, and steel products. You should know the prices of these things. Are you afraid that you will have no money by then?"
"General manager, are you lying to me again?" Although Yu Shinan was moved by what he heard, he couldn't believe Yang Ji.
"It's the dog that lied to you."
"really?"
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?" Yang Ji quickly changed the subject and said, "I'm not asking you to pay 100,000 yuan in one lump sum. You can pay it to the Tiangong Administration in ten installments."
"Okay then." Yu Shinan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't get 100,000 yuan at once, it would be easy to talk about anything.
"That's it!" Yang Ji said with a smile: "I will return to Beijing tomorrow and I have nothing to explain. I will leave all the affairs of Liangzhou to you."
"Congratulations, Chief Manager." Everyone understood that Yang Ji was coming to Beijing to get married, and they all stood up to congratulate him.
"Haha, thank you very much." Yang Ji laughed loudly and said, "I'll treat you to a drink when I get back."
